David Bott, Rochester, New York and Gary Reber, Temecula, California are "The Cruise Brothers" and principals of the Home Theater Cruise LLC. They recently took advantage of our deluxe accommodations to complete their High Definition video and Home Theater Cruise DVD.

Produced with the new High Definition format (HDV) introduced at CES, this project brought the home theater DVD superstars together in Royal Caribbean style. Joe Kane, Sam Runco, Don Stewart, and surround sound experts Phil Ramone, Elliot Schiner, Al Schmit, Allen Parsons plus many others were on hand for the Technology Conference at Sea.

Editing with the new HDV format in Final Cut Pro required custom plug-ins, but the end result was exceptional. The Ranch team consisted of Dan Newitt (editor), Nate Fowler (menu design) and Chris Ammen (DVD authoring).
